Power awareness -
1st set your device to sleep to 15 seconds - go to settings, display, sleep = 15 sec'd
plug in your device and start Digital Car for Android up
When you unplug it, it will pause and then let it self go to within 15 seconds
Plug it back in and it will start playing

Background -
To set you own image as a background, goto your internal storage device and you will see a folder called DigitalCar/Backgrounds. Just store them in there and next time you start DC up it will have them included. Please keep the images around 100k so not to cause a bitmap loading error.

Download it, unzip it and copy it over to your tablet. It will say it's from an untrusted source, but this is because it's not signed. (for testing)

Have fun :-)

Hey peep's,

Well... I've decided to dust off the coding gloves again and have a go at coding for an Android tablet. I've only been at it for about 3 weeks, and it's a very steep learning curve from VB.net and flash..

anyway, I've got a couple of screens half done and it seems to be working well. slow but sure, anyway.. I'll try and keep you updated.

Very nice looking so far. How do you integrate to the car's stock audio? Is it all bluetooth or are there any physical connections? I will sub this and start my own "wishlist" thread to see what is out there. Technology changes so fast that even searching can be quite useless even if a thread is only a year or so old. Thanks for your contribution to mobile audio.

i like that someone like you is back at coding again, imo tablets/android is the future if there is a solution on the actual limitations (embeding apps, bluetooth handsfree, etc..)
i will take an eye on this also

have you been able to integrate a navigation app or torque yet?
What are your plans for future development?

deffinately following this thread

Not sure about nav or torque yet. However, I did finish off last night a floating icon/button. That when you come out of Digital Car appears. It's like Facebook messenger that floats around the screen on top of everything, so I will be adding a button for say Google Navigation on my menu When you click it, it will go to the Navigation screen and my floating icon will appear so you can easily go back to my app... I could even have it so it has media controls / track title. Will have to see :-)

Also made it proper FULL screen (use's KitKat immersion). It now scale's non-isotropically to get the most out of your screen. Removed the volume bar showing and started on a setting's screen (now change the background).
